How to prevent colds for children

Children's immunity is relatively weak compared to adults, so parents must take good care of their children's daily diet and daily life, and provide good hygiene care. If it is the season when influenza is prevalent, you must do a good job of prevention. Try not to take children to crowded places, avoid contact with people with colds, wash your hands frequently, get vaccinated when necessary, and consciously teach children to develop the habit of exercising regularly to improve their body's immunity.

1. Keep children away from people with colds: Inhalation of droplets in the air, contact between people, contact with pollutants, etc. are the causes of influenza. Therefore, avoid infecting colds to children in normal times. When sneezing, be sure to use a tissue to prevent the spread of droplets carrying pathogens in the air. It is best to have a mask with you to isolate the respiratory tract to better reduce the chance of infection.

2. Let children keep exercising: Children's immunity is generally lower than that of adults, and they are more susceptible to influenza, especially in winter. Children need to keep exercising to improve their resistance, even in winter. In winter, you can let children run, play ball, etc. when the temperature rises.

3. Wash your hands frequently: Children like to touch things randomly, especially toys, tables and chairs, elevator buttons, toilet door handles, water dispensers, etc. in kindergarten or school. They are more likely to be exposed to influenza viruses, so be sure to wash your hands frequently. When washing your hands, it is best to use running water and hand sanitizer to carefully rub the palms and backs of your hands to prevent viruses and bacteria from taking advantage.

4. Drink more boiled water: During the influenza epidemic, children should drink plenty of warm boiled water. Drinking water can not only promote blood circulation, increase urine volume, but also excrete waste and viruses from the body. At the same time, it also helps to improve physical fitness and make other diseases in the body get better as soon as possible.

5. Ensure adequate rest every day: Get enough sleep and keep warm, so that the body can recharge, recover and enhance resistance, which can better prevent children from getting the flu.

6. Get the flu vaccine in time: In addition to general prevention methods, parents should take their children to get the flu vaccine in time. Although the vaccine's effectiveness in preventing influenza only lasts for one year, it is highly effective during the peak influenza season with few side effects, so it is also an effective way to prevent children from catching colds.
